Welcome
When your relationship hurts, you hurt.
You try to communicate, but it always ends up in an argument. You’re dealing with the same problems over and over, and you can’t find resolution. You’re missing the closeness, intimacy and passion you used to feel. You want a better relationship, but it feels like you’ve tried everything. Where do you go from here?
The relationship you want is within reach. It takes dedication and conscious effort, but it is possible. Whether we work together as a couple or one-on-one, I’ll help you identify what keeps you from the life you want, including your relationship with yourself.
As your therapist, I want to help you
- 01Understand your personal story, and learn to write a more fulfilling one.
- 02Cope with overwhelming emotions like sadness, anger and stress.
- 03Shift your thoughts, feelings and worldview through mindfulness and self-compassion.
- 04Create a vision of your future that guides your daily choices.
- 05Grow acceptance, love and forgiveness.

Meet Shameela
“There is nothing more gratifying than watching you move from disconnection to reconnection.”
People and the way they relate to each other have fascinated me since I was young. As a quiet observer, I noticed how relationships evolve, how people evolve, and how deeply we all want to be connected. Sometimes that connection gets disrupted. That’s where I found my strength and my passion.
I trained at Northwestern University’s Family Institute, opened my private practice in Denton in 2010, worked full-time in Southlake from 2015, and have been fully online since 2020. Off the clock you’ll find me trying a new recipe, on my yoga mat, lifting weights, or losing myself in a book, a film or a dance floor.
The trail so far
Culturally attuned care
Your culture, faith and identity are welcome here.
Family expectations, faith, community and identity shape how we love and how we fight. I don’t ask you to leave any of that at the door.

What we might work on together
Where I work
Online therapy throughout Texas.
Every session is online, so I can work with you anywhere in Texas: Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso or a small town in between. You do this work without a commute, a babysitter or a waiting room. I’ve practiced in North Texas since 2010 and have been fully online since 2020.
All you need is a private space, a steady connection, and to be physically located in Texas during your session.

Do you work with individuals, or only couples?
Both. I work primarily with couples and with individual adults. In individual therapy we might work on anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, life transitions, or the patterns that show up in your relationships. I also offer individual intensives for deeper, focused work.
Do you see clients in person?
No. My practice has been 100% online since 2020, so I can see couples and individuals anywhere in Texas, from Amarillo to Houston. You meet with me by secure SimplePractice video from home, work or anywhere private, as long as you are located in Texas during the session.
How much does couples therapy cost?
Couples sessions are $230 for 45 to 55 minutes. Individual sessions are $200 and family sessions for three or more are $245. I’m out of network with all insurance companies and can provide a receipt (superbill) for regular sessions to submit for out-of-network reimbursement. Intensives have their own pricing, by consultation.
Do we have to be married to come to couples therapy?
Not at all. I work with married and unmarried couples, engaged couples, same-gender couples, and couples that include a nonbinary or transgender partner.
What happens in the free phone consultation?
We talk briefly about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and how I work, so you can decide whether I’m the right fit. For couples, this call is required before your first appointment. You can book it online in about two minutes.
Which therapy approaches do you use?
I integrate mindfulness, the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive therapy and practical communication skill-building. With individuals I also use EMDR. I tailor the mix to you rather than running a one-size-fits-all program.
Do you work with South Asian and Muslim clients?
Yes. I have worked extensively with South Asian clients (English-speaking) and with Ismaili, Sunni and Shia Muslims, as well as people who are spiritual but not religious, agnostic or atheist. Culture and faith are welcome in the room, never imposed.
